### Calling Sequence

  `x=cell2mat(c)`

### Parameters

- `c`: cell, the components of c must have the same type and can be scalars or matrices
- `x`: matrix

### Description

Returns a matrix which is the concatenation of all components of the cell c.

  cell2mat(c): all components of c must have the same data type (strings or doubles or integers or booleans). For each row `i` of `c,``cell2mat` concatenates all the components of the `ith` row of the cell `c`

Note that if the components of the cell input c``are strings then `cell2mat(c)` returns a column vector of strings concatenation

### Examples

    c=makecell([2,2],[1 2 3; 6 7 8],[4 5;9 10],[11 12;16 17],[14 13 15;18 19 20])
    cell2mat(c)
